You know what binary Whitey did impose? Mind-body. Cartesian dualism.

All of this mind vs meat sack stuff stems from that.

I think India could be argued to be an exception to this, though. Krishna told Arjuna that just as men change their clothes, so do they change their bodies, as they drift from life to life. Of course, he didn’t say how women’s souls transmigrate, so I guess that’s still up in the air.
